proceedings did not in fact exist, and that the Amir referred only to the
nendlj letters from the British Government which had from time to
time been received and were regarded by the Wahhabi Government
in the light of agreements. It also appeared that the Amir'Abdullah
had many enemies, and that his position in his own country was precarious.
The Uo\einmeiit of India regarded the outcome of the operations of
February 1866 as on the whole satisfactory; but they considered that
the procedure followed, both at Dammam and at Sur, had been
unnecessarily hasty.
Relations of the Wahhabi Amir with the Turks, 1866.
About the same time that 'Abdullah-bin-Faisal sent an envoy to
Bushehr, he despatched an agent named 'Abdul 'Aziz -as-Smvailim to
the Turkish Waji of Baghdad, apparently to complain of the British
attack upon the ahhabi seaboard and to solicit the intervention of the
Poite to prevent its repetition. Namiq
Pasha
An Ottoman title used after the names of certain provincial governors, high-ranking officials and military commanders.
was at first inclined to
request, through the British Resident at Baghdad or directly by telegram
fiom himself to the Viceroy of India, that further action might be
deferred until the question could be discussed between the British and
the Turkish Governments; but later on some difficulty, not wholly
explained, arose between the Wali and the envoy ; and the latter, on the
3rd of May, left Baghdad in disgrace.
One reason for the breakdown of these negotiations may have been a
^laid, w hich was led by the Amir 'Abdullah in person, apparently
during the month of April, upon Arab tribes on the borders of Turkish
'Iraq. The Amir, it seems, had made an expedition by way of Jabal
Shammar against the Dhafir and part of the 'Anizah tribe; and, in
pursuing the Dhafir towards the Euphrates, he came in conflict also with
the Muntafik. Some severe fighting ensued, of which the final result
was not clearly ascertained, and the Amir, after halting with his force
for a time in the neighbourhood of Kuwait, returned to Riyadh.
The Turks were at first informed that their subjects had been de
feated in the encounter, and, while this opinion prevailed, the Wali
of Baghdad directed his subordinate at Basrah to write to the A mir
"deprecating hostilities between tribes subject to the same authority
and recommending the mutual restoration of plunder as the basis of
accommodation "; but later the same official accepted for himself 10
Arab horses and 10 camels which the chief of the Muntafik professed to
have captured from the Wahhabis.
